What's the best Vera bag for Disney? I just need something for iPhone, sunglasses and money/room key/ ticket. I'm leaning towards mini hipster, Lizzy and Traveler. Any suggestions?

I usually use my Hipster in the parks. One of my friends who we go to WDW with uses her mini-hipster

I got the mini-hipster and it fit my digital camera, fold-up hairbrush, cell phone, and chap-stick in the main part. The clear pocket held my debit card and KTTW, and the front zipper held my cash and FPs. When it comes to sunglasses it might depend on the size, though. Like wide-rimmed glasses might be a tight squeeze.

I've used a Hipster and it worked out great. Personally, the mini Hipster is a little too small for me, but the Hipster was a great size.

i take both my mini hipster and my hipster. for days i won't be back to the resort, i can get more into the hipster. also days i don't wear contacts, i need my sunglass case to i can switch back and forth all day

if i had to choose one... probably the regular hipster. the strap is also wider and a little more comfy

Hipster is great....

If you decide you want to carry more. I always use my backpack

 

[RMulieri]

Love my hipster.The mini was too small for me

I like the hipster as well. I don't think the mini would be big enough for me, also it has that flap that folds over, and those usually bother me/get in my way.

I've been contemplating taking a really small bag. If I go really small, I'd take a Lizzy (I don't have a mini-hipster - I don't think the flap would work for me and I'm not sure if it would fit my sunglasses). My camera is much too big for a Lizzy, but a thin camera might fit. If I go with a medium bag, I'd try taking the Libby. My camera and camcorder would fit in that. If I go with a big bag, I'd take my Cargo Sling. This is big enough to fit souvenirs and a couple of water bottles, cameras, ponchos, etc. It's pretty roomy. All of these go cross-body, which is what I like. And they all zip shut.

I thought about trying a large Hipster, but it didn't feel right on me when it was loaded up. It's a flat bag, and it seemed to bulge weirdly if I put too much in it.

I have a Hipster, Wristlet, Amy, On the Go, Mini-Hip Bag and various other Vera Bags. I forgot ALL of them (except my wristlet) for my trip last month! (I had planned on using a backpack for my daughter, but ended up leaving it with my mom to use instead.)

I ended up going off-property, looking for a mini-hipster. I found them...but I also found the Lizzy, which has wider, adjustable straps (the mini-hipster does not).

I REALLY LOVED my Lizzy for carrying through the parks. I have a large-ish camera (Canon G10) and it fit fine in the main compartment, along with Mentos Gum, my Inhaler, and my headphones. I usually wear my sunglasses on my head, but they also fit in the purse when I needed to go on a ride.

I put all of my "wallet stuff" in the back zipper pouch that has credit card slots. I also stored my fastpasses (with the most current one on top) in those slots.

The front 'flap pouch' has an ID holder, perfect for my PhotoPass Card.

There is another pouch pocket between the flap pocket and the main compartment...that's where I stored my iPhone.

This has become my new favorite small bag! The straps are cross-body, but I also wore it as a waist bag...it was nice to give my back a break!

Another vote for the Lizzy! When I had a blackberry, I used the Carry It All Wristlet - which I loved, because I'd stick a photo ID, my KTTW and a little cash inside and then I'd loop the wrist strap through my beltloop and put it in my pocket. I am one of those people who cannot STAND to carry a purse if I don't have to! :0)
Bought the Lizzy in Folkloric just before this trip, after I purchased the iPhone (which would not fit in my Wristlet) but worried that it would be too bulky for me. I couldn't have been more wrong. I love that purse and I am still carrying it!

Clicked submit too soon!
It's got 2 great pockets inside that fit the iPhone and my camera perfectly. Then a zippered part on the back that holds your KTTW, photo ID, etc. I still have fastpasses in mine! Haha! It's really awesome.

I took the mini hipster to the parks last november and it was great. except for my big sunglass case, it fit everything i needed. we are going again in early sept and will need a bigger bag. so I am thinking about the regular hipster! I really want something to carry a water bottle in and will also be bringing suntan lotion and rain ponchos. we were caught in a good downpour and i will never go without one in my bag again!!

 

[mchhp]

in the past i have always used the hipster. It is very useful. my current hipster has seen much better days so i was going to get a new one, but i actually went with the fossil key-per crossbody. it has a coated canvas so, i thought it might be a little more water repellent. i love it so far, but it hasn't made a trip to disney yet. we will see.

 

[MYD714]

I love my mini hipster for Disney. It holds my camera, tickets, money, glasses, etc. It's a great size for the rides and doesn't weight me down.

 

[SaraJayne]

I also love my mini hipster for park days.

It's my everyday purse at home, so I'm used to wearing it and it fits everything I need.

 

[mom2taylorandemily]

I have carried a Mini Hipster for the last 6 trips, but I'm seriously considering a Lizzie for this next trip. It is so cute, and the strap is a little wider so I'm hoping it might be a bit more comfortable to carry.

 

[daisyh5]

I have also used my Mini-Hipster my last few trips and am thinking about getting Lizzy. My tan line will be wider. hehe. Last time I had a skinny diagonal line going across my chest.

For travel days (to hold all our stuff) i use the messenger bag. Despite being my go-to bag in RL, the hipster seems to get in my way in the parks, so I go with the mini hipster (which can be a tight fit depending on which camera i lug).

Thank goodness yet another online sale yesterdayi picked up 1/2 off the mini cooler (for use as camera bag) and the Little Hip Bag. Has anybody tried it?features a removeable 55 inch strap which i figure will allow me to use it as a tech bag jik.
